Word usage of "babysit"

grammar

Is there a chance that the expression "He is unfit to babysit" is about the baby to be babysat rather than the person who is supposed to babysit that baby? Thanks!


Solution 1:

I would avoid the confusion by re-ordering the sentence to say something like: the baby is unfit to be left with a babysitter.
